after researching and looking at various websites that discuss the effects of
video games (particularly on children) i have found that the disadvantages
outway the advantages. In fact i was only able to find one advantage to video games.
Although whether it is an advantage is debatable.
The disadvantages to video games come under social, economic, legal and technological factors.
one of the main disadvantages is that video games provoke violence within people and children.
the high levels of violence found in video games influence children and promote more violent behaviour. "''When children witness violence, they are much more willing to inflict violence,''
''Exposure to violence leads to violent behavior.'
I have also found that video games are responsible for children and anti-social behaviour as well as
neglecting their school work. However the articles also state that such negative effects depend on
how often they play video games and that it is up to the parents to stop the children if they
believe that their children are over exposed to video games and the violent content in them.
The next disadvantage is the effect that it has on a person financially. The amount of money they
spend monthly on video games is astonishing and some users pay subscription fees for MMORGP games.
video games can also cause damage to a user's computer due to non-genuine video games they purchase.
